US President Donald Trump has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce all relevant grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case, subject to court approval.
“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval.
This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Bondi responded on social media platform X, saying the Justice Department was ready to move the court on Friday, US time, to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
“President Trump – we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts,” Bondi wrote.
New Allegations Emerge Against Trump
A collection of letters gifted to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003 has been publicized by the Wall Street Journal.
Among the letters was one bearing Donald Trump’s name and an outline of a naked woman, the journal reported.
The drawing, depicting a woman’s breasts and a “Donald” signature in the place of pubic hair, surrounded several lines of typewritten text, according to the newspaper, which reviewed the letter. It concluded with the line: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Trump denied that he wrote the letter or drew the picture and threatened to sue the newspaper if it published the story.
“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said, according to the Journal.
Trump Under Fire Over Epstein Connections
Trump has been facing pressure from some of his supporters and renewed public scrutiny on the convicted sex offender’s connections to powerful figures.
Epstein, a wealthy financier, was facing federal charges of sex trafficking minors when he died by suicide in jail in 2019. He had pleaded not guilty, and the case was dismissed after his death.
The topic returned to the news last week after the Trump administration reversed course on its pledge to release documents it had previously suggested would offer major revelations about Epstein and his alleged clientele.
Earlier on Thursday, Trump’s press secretary told reporters he would not recommend appointing a special prosecutor in the Epstein case.
White House Response
“The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case. That’s how he feels,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Leavitt said Trump had already directed the Justice Department and Attorney General Pam Bondi to conduct an “exhaustive review of all files”, dismissing the renewed interest in Epstein as politically motivated and accusing Democrats of ignoring the issue during their time in power.
